Which chemical is control

Thank you for this info and similar non-invasive alternatives. Very helpful!

I’ve had butterfly bush and lily of the valley die on me almost immediately. Australian problems.

I still do not understand how to trim a mop head without cutting off the next years blooms.

Bradford pears are pretty, but they stink so bad

I don’t know if bittersweet vine was ever sold as an ornamental plant, but it’s like the Northeast version of kudzu (although not as smothering). Although it starts as a spindly vine with what look like shiny string beans hanging on it, if it is not ripped out it will climb up trees, turning into massively thick runners and strangle the host tree. When I first saw it in the woods in NH I thought it was another tree choking out its host!

Can we share the water with small fishes like beta if the pot is a little more spacious?

useful info!

we have problems with rose of sharon in our street

Nice sharing 🌼👍

Just been smiling as I read the comments below...I live in a semi arid part of Spain in Europe other than weeds i dont know the name of...who love my gravel drives...despite a good thick layer of plastic sheeting... I have NOTHING that spreads or would take over here... I've tried Mint...I planted Ivy... Morning Glory...all mentioned below with very interesting story's Gardeners of the world.. Be grateful... I can't grow anything without wasting ... a towns worth of water !!!

Can you use both pieces that you cut off?

They all surprised me as i just planted mine and left it alone. It blooms beautifully year after year. Most people i know are not garden people. They plant and that’s it. There clematis look great year after year. So i took a cue from them.

Great to see people starting to more often warn about the danger of plants sold in stores. I'm always amazed at how companies will still offer these plants even though they know there's a problem. They always try to find a workaround, claiming a new variety is "seedless" or "sterile", but we have to always remember that they said the same things about Bradford Pear. You can never know how different cultivars will react with each other, so just don't buy the stinkin' thing! We have so many beautiful native plants that serve the same purpose while also supporting the food web and creating a "sense of place". Use them and create a "sense of place" that's wholly unique rather than a carbon copy of everywhere else.

Purple Loosestrife is killing our wet lands but I live in zone 3 Canada and have been fighting English Ivy for more than 8 years. I suspect your listing it as being invasive only in zones 5 to 11 isn't really correct. The other thing we need to remember is that as climate continues to get warmer, many of the plants that weren't invasive in our areas may quickly become so. Keeping that in mind, I wouldn't plant any of these anywhere.

Spigelia ‘Little Redhead’ USDA Zones 5-9 Also known as Indian pink, this perennial is an excellent source of nectar for hummingbirds and other pollinators when in bloom. Plants form clumps with glossy green foliage, topped by crimson red, trumpet-shaped flowers in summer. Height: 24-28”

It is very sad to go for a walk in nature and see how these invasive weeds are replacing our native flora...

Lemon balm, staghorn sumac

This is my first year growing clematis and it just recently bloomed. Thanks for the reminder in checking before pruning. I need to look it up again 😅😊

I have five and just bought number 6. Very easy to grow.

You are the man. Thank you so much for caring and posting.

Highly informative! Thanks!

I bought my 1 gal macrophylla hydrangea in late spring. The blooms were faded, but the foliage looked great! Promising, right? I re-planted it in a 5 gallon pot using Miracle Grow potting soil. Since then, its leaves have been curling and dropping. I pulled it out of its pot to see if the soil was too wet or dry. It's barely moist/perfect! Out of concern, I replanted it in fresh, new soil. It sits on our back porch where it gets dappled morning sun. I am confused as to what the issue is! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA!!!

Isnt mint considered invasive too?

At my family house we have a callery pear and my old school does right next to it so far it has not been invasive

Very good video. Sometimes, especially with smaller seeds, I have trouble getting them out of the paper towel. Any ideas?

all plants begin as invasives and no plant has been where they are forever.

Yes we love ours!

In which country is this filmed??

Tree from heaven is a massive nuisance my neighbourhood as it spread to surrounding ravines.

I noticed that different areas that I’ve lived in the United States. The hydrangeas would lay down on the ground when it got extremely hot and perk back up again is this common

Shy lee bouf' good info

Why isn’t Morning Glory on this list! 🤨

Bishop's weed - Aegopodium podagraria is another one that spreads by rhizome and creeps beyond fence lines to invade neighboring gardens. It is useful for shady areas, however, and can be safely contained with a 12" garden edging. I used metal roof flashing! Ha!

Seriously? Who would keep a fountain going in the birdbath during the winter?

They are so prettyyyyyyyyyyy thoooooooooooooooooooooo

@gardeningknowhow, Amy, when is the best time to prune apple Trees (small Glass)?

Great

I have hostas planted by my clematis because I figured they would shade the clematis roots well and have shallow roots themselves. But now I'm wondering if the hostas are taking the nutrients away from my clematis because I don't get many blooms despite the sun they get. Or possibly slugs hurt them, but I haven't seen slugs eating the hosts, so idk. What is your opinion?

Too late on the Burning Bush and Barberry. But just a note on "fragile" nature. Four years ago my husband and I bought a two-acre property on the Wind River. To say it was neglected doesn't even capture it - it was overgrown with willows, cottonwoods, and weeds and essentially being used as a dump. Piles of boards, old rolls of wire, 350-plus beer cans, and that was just the start. But as we cleared the trash we were amazed at how few living things we were seeing, essentially one chipmunk and a couple of dime-sized spiders. It was like it was sterile! Well, we took out dead trees and planted new ones (and shrubs), built a house and garage, planted a lawn and a vegetable garden. We weren't naturalizing, just making it tidy, but Mother Nature moved on in. Many more chipmunks, then pocket gophers, then prairie dogs, then rabbits, then black snakes, then herds of deer, and huge flocks of geese! We're seeing the entire food chain! Next will be badgers, wolverines, wolves, and cougars. I read so much about wildlife hanging by a thread, but here in Wyoming it's happy to get up close and cozy!

You might want to add Russian Sage to your list. I planted it as a border to hide an ugly fence and it is loved by bees and butterflies. But now it is growing into my lawn. It would be nice to know how to get rid of them from my lawn. Lou Magsamen Windsor, PA

I used to have an abundance of blooms, every spring and summer with mine and now not a single bloom I have three of them, in pots by the front door and I don't know what happened-I don't know when I'm supposed to prune them I will try to find the type I might have kept their little card info...

I love plants, flowers, and gardening. I planted some seeds from the dollar tree, and they are now over 4 feet tall! I couldn't believe it! I have a flower bed and anything I grow in the bed. I made 15 years ago grow taller than the average height. 😍🥰

Not sure how to prune my Hydrangeas

Thank you so much for sharing & have fun gardening ❤️💐🌹🥀🌺🌷🪷🌸💮🏵️🌻🪻

I enjoy this channel so much. Thank you for these suggestions. I live in zone 8b and am always looking for plants that can tolerate the heat and copious amounts of sun.

Thanks! Please add Oriental Bittersweet and privet hedge

Lily of the valley... we have those here in Sweden, too. They only bloom during a short period by the end of spring/ beginning of summer, and I'm very fond of their scent because of all the memories it brings back (plus it's a nice scent). But they are hard to grow in a garden, I mostly see them in the wild.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Sweet Woodruff. It took several years to get rid of it, and I still see it pop up occasionally. Biggest planting regret.
